Upon arrival of your cruise, our Shore2Shore guide or coordinator will welcome you at the port, identified with a sign, to begin this fascinating excursion.
Like a sea serpent connecting the horizon, the Atlantic Ocean Road links islands for more than 8 kilometers, defying winds and waves. This magnificent engineering feat, which connects the municipalities of Averøy and Eide, took more than six years to complete. Its route consists of eight bridges that connect small islets, making it one of the most iconic roads in the world.
We will start the journey passing through charming coastal landscapes, enjoying the spectacular route over the bridges that connect the islands between Molde and Averøy, where we will learn about its fascinating engineering and local life along the coast.
We will make a stop at the Eldhusøya viewpoint, where we will have time to take a walk along the circular trail. A perfect moment for photos or a brief rest (café and restroom available).
We will continue south, passing through traditional fishing villages overlooking the sea. You will be able to see their colorful houses, small piers, and the peaceful coastal life. We will pass near Farstadsanden, a white sandy beach with crystal-clear waters, before arriving at the charming fishing village of Bud. Here we will stop to enjoy panoramic views of the ocean, the wooden houses that characterize this area, and the Bjørnsund islands, perfect for capturing unforgettable memories.
Finally, we will begin the return to Molde, where you will be dropped off again at the pier or the initial meeting point.
We hope this experience has left you with unforgettable memories of the Norwegian Atlantic coast.
